Script for
Human Biology
(Comparing Systems)
Humans are
highly developed organisms with various organ systems that are adapted for
performing life sustaining functions. Each organ system works with other organ
systems in the total activity of the body. As humans, we learn about our bodies,
and the needs and the things that make for successful living. The human body is
very difficult to understand. Students learn about the different parts of their
bodies by looking at hands-on models. They compare and contrast the different
models with their own bodies. Students will examine in detail their 5 senses, as
well as their circulatory and skeletal systems. Comparing and charting human
growth will allow students to investigate their own body growth patterns.
Students will learn the function of organs as well as how the organs form
systems and how these systems interact.
Slide 1.
Human
Biology
·
The human body has a
well-tuned machine that allows us to live
·
The skeleton protects the
organs
·
The organs work together to
make humans breathe, think, move, and talk.
Slide 2.
What is the difference?
·
Appendages help movement,
and many times you can live without
them
·
Organs are protected by
skeleton (especially the core)
·
Organs work together in
systems like circulation or respiratory
·
Organs are vital as they
work together
Slide 3.
Organs
of the Upper Torso
·
The majority of organs are
protected by ribs, sternum and scapula
·
The organs are snugly inside
our body and overlap
·
There would be capillary and
veins that go through specific organs
Slide 4.
Systems
of the Human Body
·
Human systems work together
to allow us to breath and live
·
Although we are taught them
as separate they interact to make a healthy person
·
The circulatory system helps
to physically connect, while the brain coordinates the interactions
Slide 5.
Skeletal System
·
Protects soft parts
including organs and tissues
·
Bones have specific
functions from making red blood cells to support
·
Bones are made of calcium
phosphate and are porous so vein and arteries can go through
Slide 6
Integumentary System
·
This system is the skin,
which is the largest organ of the body.
·
It physically protects the
inside of our body
·
Helps to regulate heat
through pores
Slide 7.
Nervous System
·
ntral nervous system is
controlled by brain
·
Nerves transmit signals much
like wires transfer electricity
·
Includes organs of the
senses
Slide 8.
Excretory
System
·
Body functions produce waste
that needs to be removed
·
Includes the ability of
solid waste and liquid waste
Slide 9.
Circulatory System
·
Includes blood, blood
vessels, heart and lymph node
·
Transports nutrients that
body needs from water to salts
·
Also transports diseases
throughout the body
Slide 10.
Respiratory System
·
This system converts air
into oxygen that can be used by the body
·
Includes lungs and
associated parts
·
Removes carbon dioxide waste
from system
Slide 11.
Digestive System
·
Converts food that we eat
into energy that our body needs to live
·
Includes teeth to stomach to
intestines
·
Aids in removing material
that our body cannot convert
Slide 12.
Muscular
System
·
Muscles, tendons and
ligaments are attached to bone structure
·
Provides the ability to
strength to move
·
Provides pathways for nerves
to signal to brain
Slide 13.
Endocrine System
·
Glands produce hormones
·
Hormones help regulate
activities of the body from respiration to growth
·
Too much of one hormone can
make a body off-balance
·
Produces off-spring
·
In women, this system
includes the ovaries, the fallopian tubes, the uterus, the cervix, and the
vagina.
·
In men, it includes the
prostate, the testes, and the penis.
Slide 15.
Test your body parts
·
Move body parts over to the
torso and if you cannot move the part, you have found the correct location
·
This can be used as a good
reviews of the organs and the systems they represent
